Ballarat Race 6 - Onthestraight.com.au
PAW YARIS (4) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her slick win the start prior, getting around this track over 390m in 22.15. Can return to winning form here if runs up to time two back. WHODAT JEWEL (1) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 1.5 lengths at Horsham in a handy 23.32 beating Whoppi Devere. Has won two of two starts from this draw. Leading chance again. SPRING LAVER (7) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (23.91) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Horsham. Well placed here and can atone this time. POP POP BANG (3) cannot be ruled out.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 23.32 with a 1.5 lengths win at Horsham over 410m. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Sure to go well.

Was out of placings last time (24.88) at Sale in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and six places from 11 starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fourth (28.39) over 500m at Bendigo. Prefer in something easier.

Was out of placings last time (23.91) at Horsham in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Key chance and should go close.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 26.09 when a 4 length winner over 460m at Warragul. Looks a solid contender.
